Welcome Pete, Shawn & Ed Hammer Chevrolet!
Scott Peterson Motors has been serving customers of the Northern Hills and Black Hills Region for almost four decades. Since the dealership’s opening in 1987, Scott Peterson Motors has expanded several times.
The first expansion came only a few short years after the initial opening. The dealership quickly outgrew its humble lot on the south side of Belle Fourche. In 1991 Scott Peterson Motors relocated to the north side of Belle Fourche, where it remains today.
A strong commitment to customer satisfaction allowed Scott Peterson Motors to expand once again in 2013. In 2013 Scott Peterson Motors acquired the Sturgis Ford dealership from the Jacobsen family. Tragedy struck the building not long after the acquisition when a snow storm collapsed the roof. Building of the current facility near the entrance to Vanocker Canyon in Sturgis began almost immediately afterwards. In addition to the improved facilities, a Dog Park and Frisbee Golf Course were also installed on the grounds.
In 2021 Paul Wareing and his wife Dalena Wareing made an investment into Scott Peterson Motors and became its new managing owners. Prior to taking ownership at Scott Peterson Motors, Paul Wareing and his wife Dalena owned several successful dealerships in Idaho. The Wareings have committed to providing our customers with the same level of excellence that they’ve always received.
However, they didn’t stop there. Amidst and despite all of the uncertainty the world has faced with an ongoing pandemic and supply chain constraints, Scott Peterson Motors continues to expand under the leadership of Paul Wareing. In 2022 Carl’s Trailer Sales in Belle Fourche was acquired, once again adding to the brand’s portfolio.
2023 has brought even more exciting news as we expand yet again. This time further west into Sheridan, WY. Please help us welcome Ed Hammer Chevrolet of Sheridan, WY into our growing family.
